"Cameron Rowston made his promotional debut at UFC Perth, taking on Andre Petroski in middleweight action at the RAC Arena. Nicknamed the "Battle Giraffe," Rowston had gone 1-1 in two Contender Series stints, earning his contract earlier this year and making the quick turnaround to appear at home in Australia for his first walk to the octagon."
"As the round went on Rowston was getting looser and mixing up his hands and kicks. Petroski went to the inside to get some back but Rowston landed a check left hook dropping him. Petroski threatened with the armbar but Rowston landed big ground and pound sending the ref in. After the win, the towering middleweight noted that years ago, another famed middleweight had made his UFC debut in Perth - Israel Adesanya, who happened to be on hand for the performance."
Cameron Rowston made his promotional UFC debut at UFC Perth against Andre Petroski at the RAC Arena. Nicknamed the "Battle Giraffe," Rowston entered after two Contender Series stints and a recent contract. Petroski began by attacking Rowston's long legs while Rowston remained composed and landed a body knee. Rowston mixed hands and kicks, then dropped Petroski with a check left hook. Petroski briefly threatened with an armbar, but Rowston responded with heavy ground-and-pound, forcing a referee stoppage at 2:41 of round one. Israel Adesanya attended, and Rowston delivered a confident postfight promo about rising to the top.
